Bringing Them Home to Mount Vernon

There are several exciting things coming up at Mount Vernon soon, with the first being the launch of our new exhibit “Bringing Them Home” tomorrow. This special exhibition is in the Donald W. Reynolds Museum at Mount Vernon, and brings together for the first time over 150 objects linked to George Washington that the Mount Vernon Ladies Association has been tracking down since the 1850’s. It’s such a special thing to be able to bring these objects back to their home here at Mount Vernon, even if for just a short while. As a sneak peak, the USA Today article about the show also mentions our new traveling exhibition that opens at the Heinz Center in Pittsburgh next week. Don’t worry- we’ll have lots more details for you about that next week, as well as a brand new, absolutely fabulous website that will launch next week as well. Get excited!

Portraits in Schools

Kids holding George Washington Portrait

Mount Vernon recently invited K-12 schools nationwide to request framed portraits of George Washington to display in a respectful, prominent place.

The response was overwhelming: thousands of schools submitted letters! Along with the portrait, schools received curriculum materials to help explore our first president’s contributions.
